This was a great movie until it starts getting more serious. The very end wasn't bad. It is worth watching though, I would fast-forward the serious parts though.... Full review

I thought this movie was a 10+! The flashback format is interesting and watching the characters' lives and attitudes progress through the present-day Dixie's reminiscences. This is why it is puzzling to me that another person's comment contained the following criticism... Full review
